Perfectasol D520 is a unique combination of potato starch and potato protein and makes it possible to make a 100% plant-based pizza cheese.

The ‘topping’ has the same properties as dairy-based cheese; well shreddable and sliceable with excellent melting properties and the ‘stretch’ of mozzarella.

Perfectasol D520 has a neutral taste and colour and is ‘clean label’ (no e-numbers).
